The artist attempts to create a 100-layer resin painting with a 3D effect, despite not liking resin. They choose a phoenix as the subject and use UV resin, acrylic paint, and a heat gun to create the painting. After struggling to keep track of the layers, a suggestion from a commenter, Hans, leads them to use 3D printer slicer software to plan out the layers. The artist makes progress, but encounters issues such as bubbles and detached elements. After completing the 100 layers, they remove the mold and clean up the sides, achieving a smooth finish. The artist reflects on the experiment, concluding that a solid plan, less paint, and fewer layers would have been better, but is happy with the 3D effect achieved.
